The Prince's Trust approach of building lifetime skills and ongoing development plans for those disadvantaged in the United Kingdom is one that we whole-heartedly support. We are very proud to be patron to such a worthy cause," says Dominic Kinnon.
The patronage also provides the opportunity for over 400 UK-based SDL employees to become personally involved in fundraising and development activities. As an initial activity, 30 SDL employees have signed up to take part in The Prince's Trust Palace-to-Palace bike ride.
